45. That would be the best reason to do it
Judaism holds it hugely important to make clear distinctions. Christianity is sort of a Jewish sect.

The claimed fact that some set of persons would attack another set of persons and kill them as a result of a third party's desecration of a sacred symbol shows that there is some sort of meaningful difference between the ideas of people in the west and the mob.

Btw, according to the Daily Mail it was another pastor who burned the Koran, not the first guy. As bizarre as it sounds, the Koran burning could only be a bad deed if such a response did not occur. The idea of doing it in the first place, according to the first guy, was to demonstrate that Islam was not a religion of G_d, but of the devil.

I still don't think the story is right. It smells to high heaven. But given the first pastor's theories, in fact if this DID happen for the reasons now stated, it would mean that his intention was right.
